Soon, under the cover of the artillery company, the fourth company slowly withdrew from the front-line position, looking at the soldiers in front of him with gunpowder smoke on their faces, Gao Yuan sighed slightly, feeling sad for the sacrificed soldiers, and worried that the fourth company suddenly lost nearly one platoon's combat effectiveness. You must know that the Second Regiment, as the main force, is almost entirely composed of veterans, and the loss of so many veterans at one time can not make people feel distressed?

"Order, the fourth company withdrew to the third-line position for rest, and the fifth company of the second regiment and the first company of the new second regiment immediately entered the position with the changed equipment." The regiment commander, Gao Yuan, quickly recovered his mood and ordered calmly.

Soon, two fully manned companies drove towards the front-line position, although there was now the cover of the mountain artillery company, but there was nothing to be done about the devil's mobile grenadier, so he could only let him continue to fire grenades a few hundred meters in front of the position.

Grenades continued to explode around the fighters, and every now and then a soldier fell in a pool of blood. But for the warriors, who are accustomed to death, there is no effect. In the ubiquitous grenades, he is constantly doing complex tactical moves to avoid the grenades of the devils. However, what made the regiment commander Takahara happy was that under the constant attack of the grenades falling by the devils, the two companies only paid one squad of combat effectiveness, and most of the personnel lost were recruits who were replenished by the troops this time.

By the time the soldiers of the two companies were lying in the trenches, the grenades flying everywhere did not pose much of a threat, unless one of the grenades landed right in the narrow trenches, but this possibility was rare.

At this time, the devil was also ready to go, and the mixed reinforcement team that had just been reorganized was still led by Lieutenant Kawada, as the first wave of attack troops, opening the way for the follow-up troops. After a few minutes of encouragement, the current Kawada squad can be described as high morale, clamoring to avenge the Jadeshattered Imperial warriors.

Immediately, the soldiers of this squad bent down and slowly touched the blocking position under the cover of the four heavy machine guns of the heavy machine gun squad. At this time, the commander of the second battalion, who was the commander of the front-line position, did not hesitate, and decisively gave the order to shoot when the devil was still 200 meters away from the position. Suddenly, the fierce fire of the six light machine guns swept away more than a dozen devils at once. And the remaining devils, after tasting the fierce fire of the soldiers, fell to the ground one after another in the first time.

A reinforced squad of five crooked light machine guns was set up on the spot and fired at the fighters on the position, although the machine guns of the army were smaller in number. But their accurate marksmanship immediately made up for this gap, and the firepower of the fighters on the position suddenly weakened a lot.

In addition, the four heavy machine guns behind the devil constantly spewed tongues of fire, and many heavy machine gun bullets were penetrated into the bodies of the fighters through a thick layer of soil, and soon the soldiers began to suffer casualties, especially the machine gunners, who were almost replaced.

"Order, the heavy machine gun will fire immediately, and strive for the devil's heavy machine gun vitality to attract it." The regimental commander, who had been observing the battle behind the position, immediately ordered. And just when the firepower of the fighters was suppressed by the devils, the strength of the devil's reinforced squad of nearly 60 people, under the leadership of the squadron leader Kawada, quickly stood up and continued to charge, and the bright bayonets continued to flicker with cold light.

The two heavy machine guns that had been prepared for a long time suddenly opened fire, and the devils who had just run out of dozens of meters away were once again swept down by the sudden two tongues of fire, and suddenly, the enemy's heavy machine gun fire was also attracted a lot by the two heavy machine guns, and the light machine guns on the position shouted happily again, and the cabinet in front of the position was pressed to death.

"Boom" a grenade fell on a light machine gun position, and the violent explosion threw the two machine gunners on the position into the sky together with the light machine guns.

Looking at the casualties that kept appearing, looking at the devils who were getting closer and closer, the battalion commander made up his mind; "Order, after the devils get close to fifty meters, all throw grenades, charge at the devils, and repel the devils' attacks with bayonets." Soon, the order was given to the ears of every fighter, and having received the order, the fighters took out their grenades and loaded their bayonets

"Throw grenades, comrades, rush," the battalion commander shouted as he looked at the devil who was already fifty meters away. With the opportunity of the smoke from the grenade explosion to obscure the devil's vision, the battalion commander jumped up, jumped out of the trench, and rushed towards the smoke-shrouded devil position with the shell gun in his hand.

The distance of 50 meters only took a few seconds, and immediately, the two sides collided together. The sound of rifle and machine-gun fire was no longer heard from the positions, only sporadic pistols, the clash of bayonets

However, as soon as they came into contact, the two companies paid a lot of casualties, and as time passed, the two companies relied on the absolute superiority of numbers, several people surrounded a soldier, and slowly, the balance of victory began to tilt in the direction of the soldiers. After the devil squadron leader Kawada macheted a soldier, he couldn't help but let out a cold sweat when he saw that there were fewer and fewer troops moving around, and immediately shouted loudly, ordering the remaining squadron to break away from the squadron [***] and retreat immediately, just like that, the remaining devils of less than 30 people fled back to the starting position in embarrassment under the leadership of squadron leader Kawada.

At this time, the soldiers of the two companies were also injured and had no strength to catch up. The battalion commander wiped the blood from his face and gave a loud order, "Pick up the wounded and weapons and retreat to the position." Immediately, the soldiers supported the wounded, carried the bodies of their comrades, and the captured ammunition, and slowly retreated to their positions.

Soon, the results and losses were counted: "A total of 53 devils were annihilated, three light machine guns, 34 rifles, and some ammunition were captured, and a total of 28 people were killed in the two companies, 5 people were seriously wounded and lost their combat effectiveness, and 32 people were slightly wounded." Looking at the data in front of him, the battalion commander didn't believe it, and the regiment commander Gao Yuan couldn't believe it, just after repelling the first wave of attacks of the devils, the losses were so serious, almost 1:1 losses!

Although the soldiers on the battlefield were very uncomfortable in the face of such large casualties, the devils were also uncomfortable. Looking at Lieutenant Kawada, who was retreating in embarrassment, he was already annoyed by the loss of artillery, looking at Kawada in tattered military uniform in front of him, he couldn't help it anymore, and with a "bang" he pulled out his command knife and slashed at a soldier who fled back in front of him, and with a wail, the devil fell under Guitian's bayonet, and the devil next to him was frightened into a cold sweat.

"Baga, you are not a warrior of the empire, you should apologize to His Majesty the Emperor, pop" Guitian Shaosa, who couldn't put out the fire after cutting the soldiers, scolded Lieutenant Kawada in front of him again.

After venting, Guitian Shaozuo slowly regained his composure, and turned to look at the squadron leader of the first squadron behind him, "First squadron, order your squadron to open the passage of advance within an hour, otherwise you will directly apologize for His Majesty the Emperor!" At this time, the captain also began to get anxious. You must know that you have been delayed here for half an hour, and Moriki Nakasa in front of you has lost contact again. Guitian had no choice but to give this death order.

"Hi" After listening to the captain's order, the captain of the first squadron had no choice but to take the order and turn around and run towards his troops.

Soon, the strength of a squadron broke away from the main force of the devils, accompanied by all the heavy weapons left by the devils, a total of 8 heavy machine guns.

At this time, the regiment commander Gao Yuan, who had been staying behind the position, had been observing the battle situation in the front-line position, and when he saw the two companies repelling the devil's charge, he was originally very happy, but after seeing the casualty report from the battalion commander, it immediately turned cloudy. You know, at this rate of loss, after completing the task assigned to you by the commander, how many people will you have left!

Seeing that the new Second Regiment and the First Company were about to lose the combat strength of one platoon, the regiment commander immediately issued an order to replace the next company with the second company, you must know that the commander pulled these newly formed main regiments over for the purpose of training, and since a certain effect has been achieved, there is no need to continue to make unnecessary casualties.

However, not long before the order was given, the regimental commander's face was gloomy. I thought that the devil would stop for a while, but I didn't expect that after the devil lost a squad of troops, he was not afraid, but intensified, and this time he actually sent a squadron of troops, with a total of eight heavy machine guns, and the firepower of these heavy machine guns alone is enough to be worth all the machine gun firepower of two battalions.

Seeing the devil machine gunner calmly constructing a machine gun position three hundred meters in front of the position, the regiment commander gritted his teeth with hatred. At such a long distance, the rifle can't reach it at all, let alone the grenadier can't, is it really necessary to use the mountain artillery behind to hit these heavy machine guns, to make a single mountain artillery shell is different from a bullet, it is difficult to capture, for the Eighth Route Army, which cannot produce shells now, but one shot, one less round, until the critical time, it is resolutely not used.

"Order, after the battle starts, all the mountain guns of the mountain artillery company are aimed at the heavy machine gun position of the devil, and all the heavy machine guns of the devil must be knocked out with the least number of shells, and the second regiment and the sixth company of the second regiment and the third company of the new second regiment are ready for an assault at any time," the regiment commander thought about the pros and cons for a while, and resolutely ordered.

As soon as the order was given, the first-line position remembered the sound of gunfire, and suddenly, the eight heavy machine guns on the devil's position also fired, and the eight tongues of fire continued to strafe on the first-line position, and from time to time there were soldiers who were not well concealed and fell to the ground, and immediately, the positions defended by the two companies were only sporadic gunfire.

The leader of the devil squadron who led the team immediately became happy when he found that the firepower of the Eighth Route Army was suppressed by himself, and then the two squads that followed behind the first squad immediately followed after receiving the order of the commander, preparing to break through the position of the Eighth Route Army at one time. However, at this moment, his dream was shattered.

"Woo" shells with a long whistling sound crossed the soldiers' positions, thinking of the devil's heavy machine gun position flew over, "boom boom" A burst of explosions sounded, and the devil's heavy machine gun position was immediately covered by the smoke of the shell explosion, and immediately, the devil's firepower was reduced by more than half.

"Hit." The battalion commander seized the opportunity and shouted loudly, and suddenly, the soldiers who had been pressed and beaten by the devil squatted up one after another, set up light machine guns, rifle light machine guns continued to spew tongues of fire, and riflemen kept pulling bolts one bullet after another with the anger of the soldiers into the devil's body
